Struggling to make conflict constructive?
Conflict Happens! Don’t Waste it!
We help leaders transform conflict into communication that grows your greatness.
Build stronger relationships

Help resolve conflict
Trust is the Foundation for Everything Worth Anything.
Learn to communicate in ways that build authentic trust.
For business leaders, see the accumulated benefits of higher productivity and lower cost that comes with high trust environments.
For people of faith, experience the freedom to engage in hard conversations and love people in spite of differences, just like Jesus.
For all relationships, you can restore what’s broken through this method that expresses respect and honor despite differing perspectives.
The benefits for everyone include lowered stress and getting more done.
You never have to compromise your values or devalue those of others.

Conversations around differences need to be safe.
Learning the Loud Is Not A Language® process opens doors for hard conversations to happen respectfully and effectively.
Never has trust been at such an all-time low in the workplace, families, churches, and throughout society.
Poor communication wastes time, damages relationships, escalates conflict, increases stress, and is a petri dish for negative behaviors such as defensiveness, passive aggression, and lack of compromise.
Your time and purpose are too valuable to waste on that.
Be the champion leader of trust that’s so desperately needed.
Schedule a call to ask your questions, share your story, and see how we can help you be the change that is needed in our workplaces, families, churches, and schools today.
We want you to experience the power of building trust through effective communication.
We believe you can be a part of the change that is needed.
We care about you, your family, your career, and your community.
We really do.
And we believe that together we can turn things around.

Hi! I am Brenda Harkins!
I understand all too well the struggle with feeling passionately about a topic and wanting others to agree with me. Issues arose when my passion pushed away those people who didn’t share my perspective, though. I had to learn a better way. One that honored both my passions and those of others.
With over 25 years of coaching and training and a book on the subject titled “Loud Is Not A Language”, I can teach you a method of communication to increase the effectiveness of your communication, the quality of your relationships, and the impact of your influence. All while remaining completely authentic to who you are, and at the same time being completely respectful of who others are.
